This article was showing great prosperity. With the US stock market crash in October of 1929 how affected was the Australian economy. For the most part the effects of this event lasted through WW2 here in the states. Walter P. did some aggressive empire building during the depression buying Dodge Brother's dealerships to have a point of sale for his new Plymouth line and expanding manufacturing capability. By 1931 Chrysler Corp became the third largest manufacture of American cars thanks to the Plymouth line which was a big money maker after the Great Depression.
